The abuse-mailbox-field is not mandatory, and it did not
help at all. There are enough records, that have none (even
from interested LIRs) or that hide there abuse contacts
in remarks or simply think, that normal email-fields are enough,
leaving the complainant with a guess, which one is right.
So, it needs to be mandatory to have them all in one day.
Give people a choice and they will choose to do nothing ;o)

We just had one last month, that was really enoying.
About 1300 machines hammered down a customers site.
Our detection blocked them all in about 20 minutes, but
the traffic still reached our edge routers and
firewalls. This is enoying, because our upstream
providers will not block single IPs on their side and
we will have to pay the traffic, just to block it straight
away.
flow-control detected to original IPs (most Sender-IPs
where faked), but it did not stop for about 3 weeks
until the PCs with a trojan finally got the order
from the attacker to do something else.
We tried to inform the responsible admins, but only
reached about 30% of them. The rest had no email at all
or no valid email address or returned with the usual
mailbox full or User unknown.
Would love to raise this rate.

Def right.
But this cannot be true for illegal actions ...
